β€œAlaska Equinox”. My third summer in Alaska. I love spending the summers here, where the temperatures rarely break 70 degrees and there’s usually some form of rain.

Equinox the Gryphon likes it too!

Aaaaaaa incredible! The duality between cold and hot, the happy expression on the left and the fierce one on the right. I love the tone texture too! Thank you so much! Once I get some time I’m gonna send an attack back >:D

Beautiful illustrations! I work on a boat that goes through the Kenai Fjords National Park and we see Pigeon Guillemot almost every day. I love their bright legs!

It’s so fucked. They refuse to acknowledge that money received isn’t necessarily money that belongs to the person. It shouldn’t be so black and white.

I’m so sorry :( I was kicked off Medicaid because I made literally $40 too much per YEAR.

So an extra $40 means I go without healthcare coverage. To pay out of pocket is way more than $40. The whole system is broken.

Thank you! I’m super excited about this show :) sadly I can’t make it to the opening since I’m in Alaska 😭

Thank you! It wasn’t planned, but instead of extending the entire image out I decided to keep the original size and just extend the wingtips!

"Seaseeker" and "Magpie Gold". Each of these are ink and color ink washes! The ink I use is archival acrylic ink, so the colors are lightfast and will remain brilliant. These are 5X7 inches (the eagle's wingtips stick out a bit).

Two block prints. On the left is a stylized horned puffin, and on the right is a stylized tufted puffin.

Two block prints inspired by some very wonderful Alaska seabirds! I'm working in Seward, AK again as a deckhand and see these birds nearly every day.

Each is 5X7 inches. The one on the left is a Horned Puffin and the on the right is a Tufted Puffin.

Same! I owe more in student loan debt than I’ll ever be able to pay off (especially with compounded interest). My degree allows me to teach and the experience/education was great, but the financial cost was too high.

I wish there was a device that allowed women to transfer pain to their doctors. That doctors were forced to feel what their patient is feeling. You can bet they would then get the BEST pain management.

It was one of the worst pains I’ve experienced, and I say that as someone who has broken bones. I have a very high pain tolerance but even I was nearing my limit with my IUD insertion. I don’t understand why ACTUAL PATIENT EXPERIENCES aren’t factored in. OVERWHELMINGLY people are in pain.

It’s so wild to me that the general consensus among medical professionals is β€œIUDs don’t hurt that much” when people who get them inserted/removed ALL SAY IT FUCKING HURTS. Maybe listen to the actual patients instead of what they β€œshould be” feeling???

Everything is super crisp and sharp, even the background elements. The flowers on the right feel extremely out of place with how saturated and sharp they are. Same with the bottom of the dress. Like everything was pasted in.

Here are all the block prints I currently have! These were carved from linoleum and each individually inked and pulled on rice paper. All are 9X12 except the phoenix, which is 5X7.
